After the materials are transferred across the river, the eastward advance detachment can travel lightly and wait for the little devils to serve the food!

Xiao Siming immediately ordered all troops to withdraw to the vicinity of Puyang County, seize the time to rest in concealment, restore the physical strength of the soldiers, and prepare for the big battle.

Before urging the evacuation of the ferry, Xiao Siming, Wang Lushui, and Hu Qingyun walked across the pontoon bridge, inspected the new regiment, the baggage battalion, and the three infantry companies, made a simple mobilization, and gave the order.

From Zhencheng in southwest Luxi to the mountainous area of Lunan, it is necessary to cross the canal in the middle, and also pass through the Jinpu railway and highway, which is naturally difficult and dangerous. However, at this time in Shandong, the Japanese army was extremely empty, and our army was not in the climate for the time being, and the three infantry companies and baggage battalions drawn from the three main regiments were all elites tempered by war, and the new regiment had also been trained for so long, and it was fully armed, and the equipment was also a color of Japanese-style weapons, and there were two long-tested commanders Huang Hua and Huo Cheng to command, absolutely no problem!

That's it, Wang Lushui insisted on letting Huang Hua and them set off first, and saw them start to move with his own eyes, so he waved goodbye, stepped across the pontoon bridge with Xiao Siming, and returned to the west bank.

Most of the baggage battalion was evacuated, and a company was left behind to be responsible for transporting pack horses, preparing to clean up the captured Japanese weapons and ammunition on the battlefield after the battle.

As for the 15o vehicles, they are to be used to carry troops and load the ammunition necessary for the operation.

The five pontoon bridges on the Yellow River have completed their mission and it is time to dismantle. There is no need for the Eighth Route Army to worry about this, the villagers by the Yellow River will do it. Whoever gets the boat will take it, and the wooden planks and door panels for paving the bridge deck and the rafters and ropes for building the bridge have already been paid for by the Eighth Route Army, so let the villagers take them back and use them.

What made Xiao Siming particularly happy was that when the troops withdrew, there were 36 men who were begging for a living on the Yellow River and asked to join the army. These people are very good at water, and they can operate boats and boats, which just makes up for the shortcomings of the commanders and fighters of the eastward advance detachment who are all landlubbers.

Xiao Siming immediately ordered these 36 people to be organized into a special platoon of the guard battalion and handed over to the guard battalion commander Chen Desheng for training and management.

If you want to introduce your daughter to Xiao Siming's fellow countryman, you really sent your daughter to join the army, accompanied by his son, who joined the army together as a brother and sister. The elder brother was assigned to the special service platoon of the guard battalion, and the younger sister was incorporated into Xu Ruping's field ambulance team, and became a female eighth road with a medicine box on her back and a small pistol pinned to her waist.

When the troops withdrew to the county seat, Wang Lushui reported to Peng Mingzhi, the head of the Sulu-Yu detachment, and Wu Zongyu, the political commissar, that the eastward advance detachment had completed the task of transferring materials, and the Sulu-Yu detachment could retreat and transfer.

Wang Lushui was originally the first deputy director of the Political Department of the 685th Regiment, but if he had not been seriously injured in the Pingxingguan operation and needed to recuperate, after Deng Hua, the former director of the Political Department of the 685th Regiment, was transferred, he would have naturally taken over as the director of the Political Department of the 685th Regiment, that is, the political commissar of the regiment. If that's the case, he is now the political commissar of the Suluyu detachment of the brigade-level detachment. However, nothing can be assumed, after Wang Lushui was wounded, Wu Zongyu, the second deputy director of the Political Department of the 685th Regiment, took over as the political commissar of the regiment, and he did a good job.

Besides, Wang Lushui's later exhibition was also good, he was transferred back from the supplementary regiment to the previous brigade of the eastward advance that he and Xiao Siming pulled together, and now it has also been developed into a brigade-level eastward advance detachment, and the weapons and equipment of the troops are much better than those of the Suluyu detachment!

Because it is his old army, Wang Lushui reported the time to Peng Zhizhi and Wu Zongyu, and he didn't need to be polite at all, what to say, it was very convenient!

Originally, it was planned that the Sulu-Yu detachment would block the delayed Japanese army for one day and two nights, but now the eastward advance detachment has completed the transfer task ahead of schedule, which has relieved the pressure on the Sulu-Yu detachment at once.

To Wang Lushui and Xiao Siming's surprise, Peng Mingming and Wu Zongyu of the Sulu-Yu detachment called back and said that they were having a good time and would not evacuate for the time being, and that they would continue to harass the Japanese army tonight, hone the troops, and at the same time capture a little more weapons and ammunition from the Japanese army. Since the little devil wants to pass by their door, he must leave the money to buy the road!

After reading the telegram, Wang Lushui said that this tone must have been the telegram drafted by Lao Peng himself, or the content of the telegram dictated by him. It seems that Lao Peng is addicted, and the little devil is afraid that he will not be able to reach the Yellow River until tomorrow night!

Xiao Siming said with a smile: "As long as the road is resolutely and completely destroyed, this battle, the Suluyu detachment will be very easy to fight." Because among the Japanese troops who arrived, the real main force was the mixed 3rd Brigade, which was a mechanized unit drawn from the 2nd Division, the infantry were all in vehicles, there was no cavalry, and the search team used armored vehicles. The road is different, and they can't walk an inch. The third brigade was not mixed as a bodyguard, and the other infantry wings of the 13th brigade and the 14th division of the Japanese army stationed in Heze were naturally very cautious because they couldn't figure out the reality of the Eighth Route Army, for fear of being a bird! ”

Wang Lushui laughed when he heard this, saying that this was the result of several clean ambushes of our army, and the little devil also knew that he was afraid!

Xiao Siming also laughed!

Wang Lushui and Xiao Siming laughed because of the smooth transfer of materials, but in the headquarters of the North China Front Army in Beiping, the commander of the North China Front Army, General Terauchi Shouichi, was anxious because the Eighth Route Army attacked everywhere!

In the headquarters of the North China Front, the ticking of radio reports and the shouts of "Moxi, Moxi" as staff officers answered the phone and made phone calls have not stopped since last night.

Terauchi Shouichi was not stupid, he must have known that the Eighth Route Army's all-out attack was to plan Xiao Siming's eastward advance detachment to fight and transfer the arms and materials captured from Chenqiao, but he couldn't do anything!

In such a big Shanxi, the Japanese army only had the strength of the 2O Division, the 1O8th Division, and the 1O9th Division, and occupied so many county towns and market towns, so they had to send troops to garrison them. It's good that the Eighth Route Army didn't actively attack, but this active attack, Terauchi Shouichi appeared, and he originally thought that it was already a solid occupied area, and the law and order were so bad!

According to the Japanese army's plan for the Battle of Wuhan, the North China Front Army was divided into two routes to cooperate with Central China to send troops to attack Wuhan. Attack along the Huaihe River valley and through the northern foot of Dabie Mountain, and after capturing Zhengzhou all the way, attack south along the Pinghan Road.

The current situation is that the 14th Division of the First Army of the Japanese Army has been transferred to the command of the Second Army, and the remaining 2O Division, 1O8th Division, and 1O9th Division are all trapped in the Shanxi battlefield and cannot be pulled out. The Third Brigade and the Fourth Brigade of the First Army, which were independently mixed, were all participating in the combat operations of encircling and annihilating Xiao Siming's troops, and they could not be withdrawn for the time being.

As for the Second Army of the Japanese Army, there are now three divisions: the 10th Division, the 14th Division, and the 16th Division. Among them, the 16th Division cooperated with the 5th Division to follow Xiao Siming's ass, and he didn't know when he would be able to complete the task of annihilating Xiao Siming's troops, and the return to construction would be far away. The 14th Division had not yet been fully reorganized, and was stationed in Kaifeng to confront the First Theater. The 10th Division was deployed in Shangqiu in eastern Henan, Bozhou in northwest Anhui, and Zhoukou in southeastern Henan, and confronted the troops of the Fifth Theater.

As for the troops directly under the North China Front, the Fifth Division is pursuing Xiao Siming's division, and the 114th Division is stationed in Xuzhou, undertaking the defense of a vast area from Tai'an to Xuzhou and Lianyungang in the east and Dangshan in the west. The 21st Division, newly incorporated into the North China Front, was stationed in Dezhou and undertook the task of controlling the Jinpu Road and the areas around northwest Shandong and central Hebei. The newly formed 11O Division is still floating on the sea, and it has not yet reached North China! However, even if they arrived in North China, they would have to undertake the garrison tasks along the Pinghan Road, and it would be impossible for them to be transferred to the battlefield of the battle.

The North China Front also has a unit directly under it, that is, the Fifth Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade, which has now been transferred to Qingdao and stationed in Ludong.

In the entire hinterland of Shandong east of the Yellow River, all the way to the Xuzhou area in northern Jiangsu, the Japanese army also had only one 114th Division and an independent mixed fifth brigade, and the other was the second infantry wing of the mixed brigade of the North China Garrison Army, which was disabled by the eastward advance detachment. The emptiness of the army can be imagined!

Shou in the temple thought about it for one or two, and felt that it was all Xiao Siming's fault. A Xiao Siming Division contained the two elite divisions of the Fifth Division and the Sixteenth Division of the Imperial Army, and also contained the Independent Mixed Third Brigade, the Independent Mixed Fourth Brigade and the 21st Division. If it weren't for Xiao Siming's department, the Jinpu Railway would have been safe, the Pinghan Railway would have been safe, and the Shijiazhuang Airport would have been safe. It was because of Xiao Siming's-stirring stick that he completely undermined the public security and stability in North China, destroyed the strategic layout of the North China Front, and caused the 16th Division to be unable to return to participate in the Battle of Wuhan, and the North China Front Army could not transfer troops to recapture the battle of Zhengzhou in accordance with the requirements of the battle plan!

Xiao Siming, the hateful Xiao Siming, the North China security tumor Xiao Siming, the-stirring stick Xiao Siming, see how many days you can run amok!

Shouichi Terauchi, who was sitting behind his desk, couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

As soon as the scolding fell, Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe, chief of staff, came in and reported that he had received a report from the Fifth Division that the vanguard had arrived at the Yellow River, and that the roads and railways from Xinxiang to the Yellow River had been blocked by the Fifth Division. The division is preparing to start pushing from west to east early tomorrow morning, encircling Fengqiu, and looking for Xiao Siming's troops. The 16th Division also reported that the main force had arrived at Anyang by rail and road transport, and that according to the battle plan, a blockade line had been laid along the railway and highway from Anyang to Xinxiang, and that the Nara Detachment, composed of the 38th Infantry Wing, had made a U-turn and moved south along the road from Handan to Daimyo to Cheng'an County, entered Linzhang County, laid a blockade along the Zhanghe River, and had established contact with the troops of the Independent Mixed Fourth Brigade in Wei County and Daimyo.

Shouichi Terauchi finally had a smile on his face, said "Yo Xi", and then asked where the troops from the 3rd Brigade and the 21st Division of the Independent Mixed Brigade were located?

Okabe Naosaburo reported that the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade had arrived in Shen County, east of Daimyo, and that the 62nd Infantry Wing and the 82nd Infantry Wing of the 21st Division had moved to Yanggu County, east of Shen County, and had blocked the west bank of the Yellow River.

Shouichi Terauchi stood up excitedly, raised his hand and touched his bald head, and said to Okabe Naosaburo with a smile: "Gangbe-kun, the big net has been completed, it's time to close the net!" ”

Naosaburo Okabe was also happy, said "Hai", and then said: "Your Excellency Commander, it's indeed time to close the net!" ”
